I need a little time to tell some more stories. I find that they seem to disappear from my memory and I need time to hold onto them. This is a story about a little person and two giants. A long time ago two giants lived underneath a tree where they would fall asleep together lying next to each other. A little person approached them with a rock for throwing in his hand. He was either very brave or very foolish because he planned to climb up on the huge people who were sleeping. If he woke the giants up it would not go well for him.
The small person got a better idea after he picked up a rock for throwing. He decided to climb up the tree instead of the giants. He threw his rock at one of the huge people lying below. The rock woke up the one giant who got angry with the other giant. He hit the other giant and said, “What are you doing to me? What have you done to me?” They then settled down and went back to sleep.
Next the little person threw another rock at the second giant lying beneath the tree. Now this giant woke up angry and he yelled at the other giant next to him, “What are you doing throwing rocks at me?” He was mad and he hit the other giant. Once more they settled down and went to sleep.
The little person threw another stone at the first giant he had attacked. This time the giant woke up in a rage and he started to attack the other giant beside him. They started wrestling with each other using all of their giant strength. They were so angry that they killed each other in the struggle.
They killed each other because each one thought the other was bothering him on purpose. In reality it was the little person in the tree who was responsible. He had hit them with stones and carefully waited to make them attack each other.
The little person went home to his camp and told his people that he had killed the two giants with his own hands. He really knew that they had killed each other, but he didn’t tell this to anyone.
When the people from his camp went to see what he had done to the two giants, they were amazed and surprised to see how such a small person could have enough strength to kill two giants!
